Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 21, 2026, as Global Accessibility Awareness Day in the State of New York

This Senate Resolution (S.1384) requests Governor Hochul to officially proclaim May 21, 2026, as Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) in New York State. It aims to raise public awareness about digital accessibility for people with disabilities, particularly in video gaming, where accessibility barriers affect millions. The resolution is symbolic - no new laws or funding are created - and directly affects New Yorkers, especially disabled gamers and communities advocating for inclusive digital experiences. It aligns with GAAD's global mission to promote inclusive design in technology.
